The latest creation of the Atelier des Lumières takes you on the first steps of naive art in France. Spontaneous, dreamlike, sometimes childish, this new approach to painting is embodied in the works of Henri Rousseau.
At the end of the 19th century, this self-taught painter and pioneer of naive art drew his inspiration from observing in detail the vegetation and animals from elsewhere, from the greenhouses and menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.
Mocked by his contemporaries, but admired by avant-gardists such as Delaunay, Apollinaire, Picasso and Kandinsky, his idealistic painting with bright colors and clumsy perspectives would later allow him to free himself from the academic standards of the time by opening the way to modernity in painting.
Henri Rousseau makes you rediscover the Paris of the industrial era, populated by frozen characters who observe us under a sky where zeppelins and hot air balloons float. Without ever having left France, he also weaves the colorful story in the heart of a dense plant kingdom where the eyes of tigers pierce the foliage and the landscapes transport us to imaginary lands.
In this parallel universe where the reality of everyday life is invaded by a profusion of dreamlike details, the one who was nicknamed "Customs Officer" because of his job at the Paris grant, invites us to escape by dreaming with our eyes wide open, from France to a jungle with the scent of Eden.

The second time I visited, it was really shocking. It was a pity that the signal in the hall was still a bit poor. The voice interpreter signal could not keep up with the rhythm, and it would still be missed.

It&#39;s very good. You can appreciate the structure of the Eiffel Tower up close. The scenery on the platform is also beautiful. Unless you are in good physical condition, it is not recommended to climb on foot. It is too high. It is more convenient to take the elevator.

&quot;Notre Dame de Paris&quot; is undoubtedly a shining pearl in the history of literature.

From the perspective of literary value, Hugo has constructed a grand and delicate world with his exquisite writing. His portrayal of the characters is very vivid. Quasimodo&#39;s kindness and ugliness form a sharp contrast, Esmeralda&#39;s beauty and purity are moving, and Frollo&#39;s hypocrisy and inner struggle are thought-provoking. This depiction of the complexity of the characters makes each character full of vitality, allowing readers to feel their joys, sorrows, anger and joys in person.

In terms of plot setting, the story is ups and downs, full of suspense and twists. Elements such as love, revenge, and desire are intertwined, tightly grasping the reader&#39;s heart, making it immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Furthermore, this work is also extremely profound in its criticism of social reality. It reveals the darkness and hypocrisy of the feudal church and reflects the suffering and helplessness of the people at the bottom of society. At the same time, it also shows the brilliance and ugliness of human nature, allowing people to constantly think and reflect in the process of reading.

In terms of artistic style, Hugo&#39;s writing is poetic and passionate, and his detailed description of Notre Dame de Paris seems to give life to every stone of the building. His language is beautiful and infectious, bringing readers an unparalleled reading feast.

At a glance, the Louis Dynasty is full of charms - Versailles Palace Stepping into Versailles, like being drawn into the vortex of history, those who were once only in the book of the Louis Dynasty, instantly alive. From a distance, the architectural outline of Versailles is solemn, the beige exterior with a green dome, showing the royal style. Upon approaching, you will be shocked by the exquisite carvings, every detail of the palace is like an artist carved with a soul. Entering the gate, luxury came, the mirror hall is definitely the highlight of the entire palace. 17 huge arched floor-to-ceiling windows, opposite the huge mirror composed of more than 400 mirrors, the sun through the window, the light and shadow are interlaced, like a dream. Walking in it, it seems that you can see the scene of the former nobles dancing in candlelight in Huafu clothes. The gardens of Versailles are equally amazing, carefully laid out in geometric patterns, neatly trimmed green vegetation, exquisite fountains, and water columns with the rhythm of music, as if playing a silent movement. The Grand Canal in the distance, the water is shining like a silver ribbon under the sun. Walking along the canal, the breeze blows, the body and mind are healed by this beauty. However, the visit to Versailles also has some minor flaws. During the peak tourist season, the number of tourists is bursting, and it is difficult to walk in the palace. It is difficult to calm down and taste every detail. Although the explanation service has a variety of languages to choose from, the voice guide equipment sometimes has a unstable signal, which affects the in-depth understanding of historical stories. The flaws are not hidden, Versailles is still a treasure trove of history and culture worth visiting. It is not only the peak of architectural art, but also a vivid witness to French history. Whether you want to feel the weight of history or appreciate the charm of art, Versailles will not let you down.
